Hi, we’re
Michelle Moore and Reesa Herberth. The
kind people here have invited us to stop by and tell you a little about our
newest book, Peripheral People. A standalone novel in the Ylendrian Empire
series, Peripheral People combines
elements of romance, science fiction, paranormal, and crime drama in the
intense, galaxy-spanning hunt for a psychic serial killer. Hot on the trail and hot for each other (in
the sense that they’d both prefer to be set on fire than work together), the
imperial agents who stumble into the case must evade terrifying mental traps,
their own volatile relationship, and the discovery that someone in a higher pay
grade may not be so keen on their quest for justice.

We’re thrilled to
be with you today, and we’re looking forward to any questions or comments you
might have.

Corwin Menivie and Nika Santivan are decorated veterans
of the Imperial Enforcement Coalition, and are perfectly capable of solving
cases the old-fashioned way. When they’re paired with Westley Tavera and Gavin
Hale, the most powerful Reader/Ground team to emerge from the Psionics Academy,
it could either be the best thing that’s ever happened to crime fighting, or
the makings of a quadruple homicide.

During a routine investigation, West’s talent puts them
on the trail of a brutal serial killer who traps his prey in a deadly mental
playground. Then the killer starts baiting the team, laying psychic landmines
at crime scenes and exposing IEC secrets. The strain of the case binds the
agents closer together—so close that Nika and Gavin start sharing a room, and
even the curmudgeonly Corwin finds himself as occupied with West as he is with
the murders.

But as West’s visions of death grow more violent, the only
way out for all of them may be straight through the mind of a monster. If
they’re not careful, they may forget which side of the hunt they’re on.

Howl – Florence + the
Machine This is a totally a song about the right sex with someone who might
not be the right person, and thus it’s a winner for Corwin and West’s
attraction to each other.

This Is Not The End – The
Bravery - Not even earth can hold us/
Not even life controls us/ Not even the ground can keep us down/ The memories
in my head/ Are just as real the time we spent | Sometimes West Reads the
surface of things, and sometimes he goes diving into the deep end. His Ground, Gavin, is always there to bring
him home.

Read My Mind –
The Killers

Head – Tin Star

Here It Goes Again – OK Go
– As soon as I knew there was a West, I knew this song was on his personal
soundtrack. Aside from the amazing video
(which I still love), it’s the battle cry of someone who flings themselves
headlong into life, and that’s Westley Tavera to a T.

Paloma – Carbon Leaf –
To me this could be a song for any Reader, but particularly one who’s had a bad
experience and is having trouble making peace with it.

Strangers – Empires – Strangers in your head/ Falling out onto the
bed/ Are you with me?/ Are you with me? | Poor Corwin- it can’t be easy to
find something you weren’t looking for, especially with someone who can never
been 100% present.

Store Bought
Bones – The Raconteurs

Sleeping Sickness
– City and Colour

Whataya Want From Me – Adam
Lambert – Corwin has built a careful, structured life, full of careful,
structured decisions. Suddenly there’s
someone breaking through his rigid boundaries, and he’s left wondering if
anything he has to offer will be enough to leave him intact.

Give me wings with your arms on my skin/ I
feel you but it is though you're not in the room/ The peripheral people
purposely prowling to side of my eye/ Day and night/ All the time and... | A song about being psychic, written and
sung by an actual psychic and former ghost hunter-turned-bar owner. You could say this is the song that started
it all- so it seems a fitting way to end things, too.

I
hope you enjoy the music, and please give the artists some love! Music plays a huge role in everything I
write, and encouraging others to seek out the people who’ve inspired me seems
like the very least I can do to thank them.

Reesa
Herberth was born in Nevada and spirited away to California before moving to
Hawaii, where she grew up on the Big Island.
She tried Arizona for a few years, then lit out for the D.C. area, where
her nomadic itch is regularly curbed by the nightmares of urban traffic. She’s held a handful of the requisite crazy
writer jobs, including book store overlord, office goddess for an artisan ice
cream maker, and cheese-cup scrubber at an organic goat dairy.

Michelle Moore has a well-documented
obsession with travel, television, frappuccinos and flamingos. These, however,
come in a distant second to her love of writing. Most evenings she can be found
huddled over her laptop at the local Starbucks, dividing her time between
actually writing and pretending to be a barista.
